This is renter territory: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. At $1,325 a month, rents run 27% under what the rest of New York commands. Court records carry 2,402 eviction filings across 8 observed years.
The worst year on record was 2002, when 30.3% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Bronx. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
